Stuart Thomas gives us his regular round-up of the way the newspapers have covered the world of transport this week.
"I'm so fat I have to weigh myself on industrial scales," HGV driver Jonathan Bridge told The Sun. The red top heatth supplement featured this proud boast, nestled among articles such as "Why prawns make your skin glow" and "Don't get the hump over a harmless lump".
Twenty-five stone Bridge was then photographed next to his truck; Big Mac in one hand, big drink in the other, and storing up big problems later in life. Except Bridge is determined to shed weight using the new Haynes 'HGV Man' book, written along the lines of a motor manual.
"Thirty thousand deaths a year are related to obesity so hauling a heavy load is a big risk," said author Dr Ian Banks. Yeah, and not just the trailer full of plant machinery either...
If no-one's listening to you the most effective course of action is still to take your clothes off (you should see what he threatened us with over his pay rise — Ed).
